4' and you can only shelf the hole in type A and B soil, not C which most excavations involving leaking lines are classified as, i just did a refresher on shoring last week, lol. Also i work for RR, one of our policies is that you NEVER leave a cable in a line, we have 2 types of servicemen, drain techs and plumbers, the drain techs are usually the ones who do this kind'a stuff, their very green and get fired allot.9' make sure you shore it up, I think anything past 5' has the have shoring.

To bad the company doesn't work harder at having good quality work by qualified people...Just to let you know not all roto rooter plumbers are bad. i work for rr it's unfortunate this happens and gives us a bad name.
